even if they are,because of all the pins in the plug if it is a little bit loose it can cause it to not get a signal

yeah,other than something like that,i dont really know,because you cant even get to anything like the bios to see what is going on....but just check or have your brother check everything again and make sure...

to interpret those, we'd need a mobo/bios model too..

yea I know, probally should have asked all in one, but I figured if he isn't getting any no sense in asking for mobo info.
